Automobili Lamborghini Middle East and Africa Regional Head Paolo Sartori handed over the keys to the marque’s super sport utility vehicle (SUV) to Dubai Police Acting Commander-in-Chief Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani.

“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Dubai Police, supporting them in their crucial public safety mission. Following our delivery of an Urus to the force in 2022, this new Urus Performante edition will be used to carry out a range of public duties and, above all, will help enhance the city’s security and safety, with this initiative further demonstrating our brand’s longstanding presence here in the UAE,” Sartori said.

Per the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based brand, the Lamborghini Urus Performante handed over to the Dubai Police underwent a series of modifications after a period of preparation to help it adapt to police work.

It now wears the classic color green with white livery, with details on the bonnet and side doors featuring the police logo. The rear spoiler is fitted with a blue 360-degree LED light bar combined with an electric siren.

The passenger compartment, on the other hand, has been customized with various essentials for the Dubai Police, including an armored gun box, a fold-down message display, a special compartment in the boot for storing service equipment, and a defibrillator for first aid response.

“The high-performance Super SUV was added as part of Dubai Police’s efforts to increase the number of patrol officers across Dubai. The new Lamborghini Urus Performante will support Dubai police in their commitment to better serve residents, maintain social safety and security, and provide services in popular tourist destinations,” Mohammed bin Thani commented.
